Gig giveaway madness! Four, yes FOUR competitions
We've given the odd ticket away here and there over the past few months on Ragged Words but to kick off regular weekly giveaways, we've got a pair of passes for not one, not two, not three but FOUR shows in the UK and Ireland up for grabs.
Giveaway 1. Adrian Crowley, DM Stith, At Last An Atlas, Whelans, Dublin, Wednesday April 7:

Giveaway 2. Balmorhea, Nils Frahm, Winter In Montreal, Bardens Boudoir, London, Thursday April 8:

Giveaway 4. Chew Lips, Crawdaddy, Dublin, Friday April 9:
Female fronted Electro-pop? Check. Early singles released on Kitsune? Check. Londoners Chew Lips are certainly riding high in the cool charts but as January's debut album Unicorn proved, they can back it up with substance. To catch their Dublin debut for free, email your details to info@raggedwords.com, marked Chew Lips in the subject line.
